Post #100!!!

I logged in to add an update and saw that this is my 100th blog posting. I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to take a look back at where I started back in January (top photo) and compare to where I am today, August 30, (2nd photo) - almost 9 months later.

I have to say it's been a long road, and I have not yet reached my destination, but my progress since January is unmistakable. I've already learned a lot from my journey through IF and Leangains - patience, determination, the importance of setting goals (both big and small), and how much it helps to have a support network to help you when the road gets bumpy.

So, thank you Martin Berkhan for Leangains and your continued encouragement and support to all of those people who are changing their lives by applying what you've learned;

Thanks to Scott Black for your constant support, honesty and so many laughs;

Thanks to my FFF ladies - you are hands down the BEST group on Facebook. Keep up the great discussions, I learn something new from you all nearly every day.

Thanks to Chase for not making too much fun of me for eating like a linebacker or getting annoyed when I break out my digital food scale before plating my meals.

And thank you to all of my friends - near and far - for not judging/hating - though you think I'm insane for how much I eat and the weights I attempt to lift, you're all still there for me in spite of my insanity.

Stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
